Financial help. Up to six weeks reablement support is available without charge. Thereafter, people with savings or available capital of less than £23,250 and meeting the care-need criteria relating to physical and / or mental health, may be eligible for County Council financial support with care costs, subject to a care needs assessment. Dorset Direct provides an assessment procedure online (www.mylifemycare.com/paying-for-care-at-home) or by phone (01305-22101).

People receiving council support may choose a more expensive care home if a 'third party' such as a relative, friend or charity agrees to a 'top-up' that bridges the gap between fees and council payment. This involves a legal agreement between the third party and the council to cover fee increases and continuity of payment.

If care needs are health-related, requiring nursing help, NHS Continuing Healthcare may contribute to costs. See page 34, or www.mylifemycare.com/article/426062/Paying-for-your-care. Someone living in a care home registered to provide nursing care, who has been assessed as needing nursing care but is not eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, should receive NHSFunded Nursing Care as a contribution (currently £155 per week) made directly to the care home.
